week3-Visiting the gallery

Task1

-The windows and doors in the gallery lobby will reveal some natural light, partly blocked by floorboards and columns, creating some shadows.
-For paintings, avoiding direct UV light is one way to preserve them better. It is also important to protect the paintings by not allowing flash photography in the gallery. Usually the lighting in the galleries is designed so that the angle and intensity of the projection is adjusted to show the work to its best advantage without damaging it. Sunlight at certain angles can make the picture reflective and difficult to see.
-There are many exhibits in the exhibition hall and in order to display each work clearly, the light sources in the hall are small and numerous rather than just one giant light source.

Task2

-Indoor exhibition hall, without daylight. Relies on spotlights to individually illuminate exhibits after overhead lighting has illuminated the overall environment.
-The colour of the lighting is always, on the cool side.
-Yellow wood floor reflections bring out certain warm colours. The blue colour of the walls is very retro, echoing the period of the paintings.
-Adequate light
-Three-dimensional works such as the sculptures are partially lit by spotlights after the whole is illuminated by ambient light to set the mood for the sculptures.
-Flat works are often illuminated at a 60 degree angle from the front, which reduces some reflections.
-The size of the artwork is usually larger in more open spaces, and if these large works of art are placed in a small room they will look very cramped.
